THE LAST NIGHT.
BY DAKsKE DANRIDGE.

An, how she trembles when the night is long And, sitting idle in her old arm char. She hears the rude wind shout his drunken And thoughts that sleep in light and only
 dare
 To walk. like ghosts, on widest nights for. Hold ghostly counsel till the night is gone Thus, like the clangor of alarum bells, When on sleeping town the foeman A ringing in her pulses sobs and sweils And tunes the tune the Bacchant Tempest Thus beats the hurried tocsin in her brain, And all her soul is sacked by Fear again. "wild night! Wild fear Strong love, and
 stronger sin!
 Ah recompense too just for me too hear, Tl,a easement shuaders back: It Gat:ers !a The trembling shadow of my guilt is there In from the sleet, the night, the Il proar wlld My shame and my despair; my child, my
 chIld!
 70, little form that may never foldi Beyond my empty arms my baby stands; It sobs, it cries, it shivers with the cold; Its eyes are hls; It Wrings it's tiny hands. Ah, God my baby, that may never rest In dewy slumber on my guilty breast! "It was not I, thou little ghost; not I: I slept as one rho would not wake again: They stole thee in my sleep; could not die, But woke to loss and emptiness and pain. c, shameful crime to save an honored name, That none might point finger at my shame, "He'e in my bosom burns fiery tide No velvet baby lips will suck away. Q cruel hurt of lovel 0 hellish pride! o murdered baby take your eyes away. Thou weary child no mother love can warm, Fit out in to the night, the sleet, the storm. "rhe wind is wilder An, Christ, let me die O, Tempest, blow away my struggling
 breathl In some hid cavern with my child to lie 0 sudden hope that gives me strength for
 death"
 She leaves the chair; she wanders far from
 home:
 II come, my little one, comei I reach the river Q, tis cold, but thou Art colder still, and am with thee now"

A New Puzzle,

Mrs. Blanchard WAS entertaing some ] friends in the parlor one evening, when she heard small voice she knew so we'll saving; "plcSse excuse me, mamma" Then she saw little iig- ure standing in tho doorway In white gown, with tangled curls and bright eyes, too bright for ten o'clock al night, thought Mrs. Blancharl, Mid get ran across the room to tho refuge that had never failed her mothers arms, "Mamma, dear pleaded the little night owl, "l Just learned to- day how to tell you love you in such beautiful new way.

Good Reading. Boston fonrier.

There is much talk nowadays of the importance of good writing; of the influence upon the public of lltera- ture and the cardinal need of cncour- aging high grade. It does not seem to occur to people that if preaching is to be done it would bc well to devote some stress to the advocation of good reading as well as of good writing. There is much more of the latter than the former. There is no lack of good books, but the unhappy fact Is that there is decidedly lack of people who know how to read them.
 We are as race and as nation of the nervous habit of mind am. body which prevents our doing properly whatever demands deliberation and care. We read as we do everything else, hastily, feverish and superh- cially. Han author has written care fully, if he has charged every line with meaning. if his choice of words has been deliberate and subtle, all these fine distinctions arc lost upon the nasty reader. He skins hastily over the surface and loses half the force the author has carefully and pn- ticntly wrought into the web of his work. He even complains, often enough, that the author has Jailed to put into his writing the meaning which escapes him simply because of his inefficient reading.
 1t isa pity that instead of some of the useless and multitudipous rubbish with which our public schools force children to struggle painfully In the shape of superficial and sssimiIated smatteriDg of all sorts of things, place could not be found in the instruction of youth for the cultivation of the habit of careful and intelligent read ing. If this could be once established it would be infinitely more valuable than the sort of stuff with which their minds are at present concerned.

Thackeray's View of Death.

The following is an extract from one of the Thackeray letters, recently published in ScyjJr e1's Magoztne:
 "I don't pity anybody who leaves the world, not even fair young girl in her prime pity those remaining. On her journey, if it pleases God to send her, depend on it there's no cause for grief, that's but an earthly condi- tion. Out of our stormy life, and brought nearer the Divine light and warmth, there must be serene cli- mate. Can't you fancy sailing into the calm? Would you care about go- ing on the voyage, but for the dear souls left on the other shore! But we shan't be parted from them, no doubt, though they are from us. Add lit- tie more intelligence to tlat which we shouldn't we be with our friends, though ever so far of?
 "Why presently, the body removed, shouldn't we personally be any where at will-properties of creation, like the electric something (spark is it?) that thrills all around the globe sim ultaneously? and if round the globe why not Ue6eroHi and the body be- ing removed or else where disposed of and developed, sorrow and its oppo- site, crime and the reverse, ease and disease, desire and dislike, etc., go along with the body--a lucid lntelii- gence remains, a Perception uoiqui- tous.

"What do you 'spOse made those boys holler Go up, thou bald head, to their unfortunate elders in olden times!" asked Johnny of another boy in his Sunday school class.
 "I dunno" was the response, "unless they wanted the old fellers to try the gallery themselves for little while, and give the boys chance at the opera chairs.0- Washington Critic.

Phases of Feminine Nature.

"I'm in on the boom," he said, He had been lowering around her for several months, "l'm in on the boom I've got lot"
 "So have l." she said. "l've got & lot. too But l haven't any sand"
 "No; don't think you have" sAe said.
 There was pause. It struck him the tone was meaningtul. So he sidled up little closer, and, taking her hand in kind of hashtml way, whispered;
 "Say~s'posen-s'posen--w We put our i lots together"
 And "love's first snowdrop" simply covered both lots,
 "John." she said, as they sat at din- ner.
 "Well. lear?'

 And he didn't deny it, He only grinned. He was rather sentimental and SO was she as they strollcd along. She knew she had him, but he did not know how far he had progressed with her.

THE KATIE PUTNAM TROUPE.
1t Opened to Crowded House -"Lena,
the Madeap,' this Evening.

The Katie Putnam troupe opened
in HALEY Theater, last night, to a
crowded house, in "Erma, the Elf" a
four-act melo-drama written for Miss
Putnam, which abounds in strong sit
uations, sparkling sallies, and mirth-
provoking incidents. The company
is of unusual strength, and the play af-
fords all engaged in it all opportunity
of appearing at their best. H. B.
Emery, who took such strong hold of
the affections of our theater-goers,
two years ago, is still leading man of
the company.
The Theater was too warm and
close, last night; and it was evident
that, in his laudable endeavors 10
make his patrons comfortable, Mr..
NOLAN had stopped up too many air
holes. This is a matter easily rene
died, however. All that is required is
to uncover the ventilators in the roof.

About August l, 1865, an eruption

THE STORM.
1t Has Caused Little Damage, Not.
withstanding Its Severity.

During the past "a hours this re-
glon has been visited by a storm
which is evidently THE storm of the
season. About Is inches of snow
fell; but as the snow was succeeded
by warm rain fully one fourth of it
has already melted.
The snow is of the wet, heavy kind
so productive Of snowslides, and it is
not improbable that, ere long, the
TINES will be called upon to chroni-
Gle accidents caused by the deadly
avalanche. So far, however, no cas-
ualty is reported from the surrounding
towns.
MIR. Mankin came in from Bullion
to-day, with the mail. He left on
snowshoes, and beyond Shutdown
caught up with team for HALEY He
reports slides all along Bullion can
yon, from Gilman to above the town,
but no accident beyond the upsetting
of couple of telephone poles be.
tween Shutdown and Bullion. The
slides are neither so numerous or ex-
tenslve as last year, and the Bullion
ties are not at all alarmed.
The telephone lines have not suf.
fered to any extent. The wires to
Broadford, Bellevue and Ketchum are
working, while the Bullion wire is
open to the Idahoan jigs and mine.
There is, however, no communication
with Bullion proper. In Haley all
the wires are in good working condi-
ton.
The railway arrived and left on
time.
